Band Members: No, I’m not a band- but I love writing songs and making music... I’ve played in a lot of great bands and done some fun shows- I appreciate music of all types and styles and the more you don’t sound like someone else the more appealing to my ears your music will be. Everyone get out there and make some songs and share them!!! Music has been around forever and until recently everyone made music. Why should it be limited to the rich and famous now? Why should all the native tribes get to have all the fun?? Who cares if people like or dislike your tunes.. That’s not what it’s about... Let’s see what you’ve got...
Influences: Genetic science does not preclude free will, because proper interpretation of the evidence reveals only genetic influences on behaviour, not genetic determinants. This fits with the Christian understanding of free will as real, but limited by our created nature; an interpretation supported by philosophy and science. Genetic science helps to understand this nature, but is not sufficient to encompass both questions of mechanism and meaning. It can give insight to failures of human cooperation such as child abuse, sexual harassment and intergenerational conflict ; not to legitimate these realities, but to better resist them. It can assist us evaluate better our moral feelings, impulses and actions, to critique whether their moral authority is not derived solely from emotional intensity or social custom. Contemplative religion reaches the same conclusions: much of what passes as normal human love is ultimately carnal and selfish, or as Jesus the Nazarene tells us, even the evil give good things to their children and even the wicked respond to reciprocity, but his followers must love their enemies. However when genetic science debunks hypocrisy guised as love, it often also resists the idea of the genuine article existing. A Christian understanding in asserting free will points out that beyond “the false comfort of sentimentality, or the false safety of cynicism” , there is an alternative vision of what it means to do away “with childish things… Still, now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love”.
Sounds Like: The South Korean government has robot fever, and they're about to unleash a whole army -- literally -- of the mechanized creatures on their public. According to The Korea Times, the country will see the rollout of police and military robots within the next five years, thanks to a newly approved $33.9 million spending appropriation. Patrol bots will guard the streets at night, and even chase criminals, while horse-shaped combat bots will augment the country's fighting force. In both cases, the bots will communicate via Korea's vast mobile network.To get things rolling, so to speak, Korea will debut a series of household bots in the private sector this October. Unlike domestic bots already released in Japan, the Korean bots will be relatively cheap, since they use the network to perform much of their computational work instead of internal hardware and software.
